Postdoctoral and Graduate Research Opportunities

The University of Washington's strength in laboratory research carries through, not only to the Department of Ophthalmology, but to other departments where vision research is strong. The Department of Ophthalmology provides leadership for a Vision Research Center (Core) Grant that stimulates collaborative efforts for nearly 50 investigators in vision and ophthalmology throughout the University of Washington and other institutions worldwide.
